I have had many sansas in the past two years (usually the e250). And from what I can tell, they are pretty solid. They usually have FM tuners, they cheap, so you don’t feel like you have to be overprotective with them, and they have good sound quality.
I might add, they they are all (the ones I have used/owned) compatible with mac, but not in the same way as, say, an iPod. You must put it into usb disk mode, plug it in, copy mp3’s to the mounted disk, and eject. It really isn’t as seamless as iTunes sync. But it still is relatively simple.
I have never tried their windows software, so I have nothing to say in regards to that.
Buying a Sansa, in any form, is practically an unwritten bylaw of woot. Go in for three and you will be part of the club. (Yes, there is a secret handshake, but you have to buy the Sansa first.)
Got one of these (2GB, version 1) on a previous woot, and I am totally in love. I roll with Rockbox, which I totally recommend.
Also, accessories for the Fuze, such as hard cases, rubber cases, car chargers, screen protectors, etc., are all dirt cheap around the interwebs.
Some people complain about the smallish screen. I just caught up on Castle, Fringe and Lie to Me on mine with no eye strain! If it’s too small just hold it closer to your head.
If you like to listen to music/radio the Fuze will not disappoint.
The one thing I don’t like is that videos have to be converted to some sort of secret sansa format. Other than that, I’ve been pleased with it. I traded up from the Sansa Clip.
